Resources for staying connected as an expat

Discussion with expats often center on staying connected as an expat. It’s not an easy task, but having a feeling of connectedness while abroad is a critical component of many people’s wellbeing. Here are a few things that I found that might be useful for you, too!

Ooma Telo Free Home Phone Service. Blocks Robocalls with Optional Premier Service, One Size, BlackOf all of the things that I brought with me when I moved overseas, this had to be one of the best things I took. People could call me on an Atlanta phone number and it rang my phone in my apartment in Europe. The Ooma connects to a regular phone (and also through an app) and the internet, and made it possible for me to work while I was overseas because people could get in touch with me by phone. They never knew I was out of the country! This device has been working continuously in multiple countries since 2012, and I haven’t ever had a problem with it.
